B&F Students Land NSI Selection!

Fighting the Demon by Centennial College students Taylor Sullivan and Michelle Tierney has been selected for the NSI Online Short Film Festival.

Fighting the Demon by Taylor Sullivan and Michelle Tierney from Toronto, Ontario has been selected for the NSI Online Short Film Festival. The festival is hosted by the National Screen Institute – Canada (NSI) a national training school widely known for its prestigious training programs for Canadian writers, directors and producers working in film and television.

Fighting the Demon is about a rehabilitated Artist confronting his suicidal tendencies and drug additions with his brush and canvas. He reflects on the time drugs pushed him to the edge. He gazed in the abyss, but was unable to jump. His past illusions continue to haunt his every moment, but can he possibly paint his demons away? They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but can the brush fight off the never-ending waves of memory?

The NSI Online Short Film Festival is the only year-round, 100% Canadian online film festival. New films are added to the NSI website weekly and over 140 Canadian short films are available to watch in the growing archive of short film. All NSI website content can be accessed for free. In August, you can watch the film on the NSI Website.

All films selected to play in the festival are automatically considered for the A&E Short Filmmakers Award which recognizes excellence in filmmaking and awards $2,500 to the winner.
